These bug reports are most appreciated; we fully expected to run into corner case issues like this. The team working on Rust coreutils have been loving the feedback wider testing p…

Your free personal Ubuntu Pro subscription does in fact cover as many VMs and containers as you can run on up to five personal machines, as the OP well knows. I like that we make U…

In my experience it's university access that's very heavily shaped by privilege, not high school. High school is a sort of universal misery - pretty much everyone who might be appl…

Well, yes, it was a shitty and unnecessary jab. Sorry for that. But really, it was a jab at the GW Bush White House administration, not the civil service. I grew up a great fan of …

Exactly :) It was still a brat comment though. I'd forgotten about that. Thank goodness we grow out of some things.

If I remember correctly, the candidate was interested in a product management role for our cloud offerings, which is something that I care a great deal about. Hi, Rui ;) And yes, I…

It's quite right that commercial entities tend to focus on commercial imperatives. But Canonical is unusual - I founded it precisely to support a more open approach to open source …

We have no plans to drop support for any other distro. I like that open source serves more users and use cases than its creators imagined :) We've moved our development to the Cano…

That speculation is simply incorrect. We've never had a discussion about dropping support for other distros. Open source is better when more people use it, and that means its bette…

Emotive analogy, but lets run with it. We've all decided to build with sustainable local materials, which anybody can dig up without harming the environment. That's wonderful! Unfo…

We have a set of criteria for things we always did in universe, and we'll keep doing those things, as will other members of the Ubuntu community. Even without Pro you are better of…

Not true. The Canonical security team and wider Ubuntu contributors will still make best efforts to update universe. Neither the team nor I are interested in degrading a prior expe…

People have different views of what matters, or how to do things. Whatever your views, there are going to be some people that agree with you, and some people that disagree. Broadly…

Life after high school is also full of trauma and difficulty. I think one of our problems in society today is that advertising and social media pump out a false narrative of beauty…

You're welcome :)

There are always lots of opinions about how to build a piece of software. Unlike a hundred yard dash, where the best performance is obvious to all, the risks and benefits of differ…

I can see how you would draw those conclusions, because yes, we have made mistakes, and we do have some products that are proprietary, and we have made some shitty software. At the…

Yes, data shapes decisions. Should that not be the case? A hiring lead is expected to find the best candidates, not just the ones with a higher number on a simplistic test. Your po…

No, it's not normal. But your conclusion that I did this because I don't trust colleagues is mistaken. I did it to figure out how we should shape the hiring process, and so I could…

We don't.

That was a regrettable exchange, and contrition was expressed.

I'm not sure whether you are poorly informed or simply over-generalising.

Then we are in agreement :)

Or, it allows for the conversation to start naturally from that point. "In your written interview, you observed that... can you expand on that?"

Exactly. Also, a craftsman would treat their screwdriver with respect and care, too.
